the life of a human being progresses toward maturity and peaks and then gradually atrophies into old age, inability, possibly debilitation and then death.. it is the same for all people unless they meet with an accident or misfortune along that continuum.. i propose that we measure and test the virtue of being a jehovah's witness by focusing on the blind spot of their religion.. .
what is the blind spot?.
the watchtower society is in major denial that the members of that religion will actually grow old and die.. as a consequence of this major blind spot the members are less likely to include provisions for that inevitability.. the active and committed jw spends a preponderance of their vital years serving the needs of the group and not for saving for old age.. once that outstanding performance lessens and fizzles into decrepitude--the society itself makes no provision for their senescence.. .
More-without exaggeration most of the JW from my typical cong that i exited 1992 had their typical JW self employed cottage industries with NO retirement plan or long term health care and actually shunned putting away a nest egg as 'lacking faith in the immediacy of the end'.
No s**t.... how are they gonna live and when I post at topix about it the JW trolls deny and call me a liar they lie and shill say that they all got pension 401 K and sitting pretty.

Ray Franz called it the Jehovah's Witnesses "great paradox of preaching".
JW claim to be the 'evangelist of the world' who 'let their iight shine' YET practically nobody know the facts about their core doctrines.
So they then go and complain that they are misquoted and misunderstood.
It is their own fault.
